Oh, no, no, no I don’t think so.” I said locking myself in my room. Of Course I had to come out some time. As soon as I did my mom dashed in my room and packed all my stuff. Because my clothes were the only things that weren’t packed.So off we went, I stayed at my Dads for a while, trying to avoid Kansas. But then There I was on a plane. The start of a new nightmare began. There was only one good thing about this I got my own dog. Here I was standing in an airport my backpack on my back and my bags in my hands. My mom and Tim\ my step dad were hugging me (in a suffocating way) and kissing me, and telling me how much they missed me… Eww!I was not in the mood right now. There was only one reason I should be exited. I could finally talk to someone without them telling anyone else. Now I was exited I had my new best friend my dog Lady. I was home unpacking my clothes when my parents finally brought Lady in.She was a Lab mix. She had brown hair, the sweetest eyes, and she was so sweet she peed on the floor. Tim was shocked he didn’t expect that. But he stayed quiet and went to get some paper towels. I was happy, I had a dog. Then Tim came in and ruined the moment, by going over the rules. After he was done I started to pet and talk to Lady, We stood there for about an hour, I didn’t care if she didn’t understand me I talked anyway. I was having fun Tim finally got my Xbox out, I was about nine so I think I was playing Madagascar. I was down stairs playing video games and hanging out with lady when Tim came down and said I had to go get school supplies. So I left Lady there and went to the store with Tim. My Mom met us there. When she did Tim left to go to go fix up the house. I was curious so I said “Mom when does school start” and she replied by saying “Tomorrow” “Tomorrow” I said “oh my gosh why didn’t you tell me. When we got home I was bouncing off the walls trying to find something to weir. I had it the perfect impression at school I was going to weir cameo pants and a shirt that said talk to the hand. It was perfect. I was ready for school. It was a good thing because my mom had registered me two weeks ago. My mom and I had agreed that I would walk to school. It wasn’t that far so I didn’t mind. My first day in school as I walked up it was like a glowing light filled the letters on top of the school:Madison Elementary School. I was in fourth grade then and I thoughtI could start a new life, A new year, a new image. It didn’t quite go that way, it was even kind of embarrassing. The teacher made me stand up and introduce myself. I hated it but then we had to pick a partner, of course I was one of the last people standing with a person named Lori. She and I got along really well. Then came recess I was sitting all alone on a swing when a girl with blond hair and really nice came up and said “Why are you sitting all alone?” “ well I have no friends I’m the new girl”I said “Well in that case come on” She said jumping off of her swing and waving for me to follow. She was running, but I didn’t mind, I was jittery and jumpy also. But she was really fast so it was hard for me to catch up. So I ran faster and faster until she came to a jittery stop. I was walking up to her when I heard a voice, it said “why is she coming” it was probably one of her friends. He had blond hair kinda big and had puckery lips with a snotty tone. I was waiting for her to say yeah right I know what was I thinking. But she didn’t she just down right said “because she’s my new best friend”. I was so surprised I almost fell over but she said it and you could tell she meant it. Well I guess we were playing hide and seek because the guy was counting “one two three four…” and the girl said c’mon my names Casey now lets hide.” so I did I followed we hid on the slide he never found us it was so fun. It was cool because we were in the same class so whenever we got to pick our partners Casey and always picked each other. This was a start of a good long lasting friendship. We lived by eachother so when school was over me and Casey walked with each other. Because of her I met my really good friends Sydney and Sabrina, and that is how I met my best friend Casey.

The day the news came crashing down. “Were moving” my Mom said “Wha what. But the why? Oh, no, no, no I don’t think so.” I said locking myself in my room. Of
Course I had to come out some time. As soon as I did my mom dashed in my room and packed all my stuff. Because my clothes were the only things that weren’t packed. So off we went, I stayed at my Dads for a while, trying to avoid Kansas. But then There I was on a plane. The start of a new nightmare began. There was only one good thing about this I got my own dog.
Here I was standing in an airport my backpack on my back and my bags in my hands. My mom and Tim\ my step dad were hugging me (in a suffocating way) and kissing me, and telling me how much they missed me… Eww! I was not in the mood right now. There was only one reason I should be exited. I could finally talk to someone without them telling anyone else. Now I was exited I had my new best friend my dog Lady.
I was home unpacking my clothes when my parents finally brought Lady in. She was a Lab mix. She had brown hair, the sweetest eyes, and she was so sweet she peed on the floor.
